About Computers and World Computer Literacy Day
Rapidly evolving technology and digital revolution of the modern era resulted that computer have become an essential part of our lives. The computers are dealing with daily business needs, they allow us to process and calculate vast amount of data “in a blink of an eye”, and that is just a fraction of the computer’s applications.
Bill Gates described very well how the computers affected our lives:
"I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user." -Bill Gates
